Full day-by-day line-up here. You can also work out how much you’ll save if you win by adding up all the ticket prices and multiplying the figure by two. We were never great at the aul’ maths.

To win this prize – and please note, this is the ONLY competition you will find on or offline where weekend passes are up for grabs – simply tell us in the comments below who you would add to the bill and, if you feel like it, why they’d fit the bill. As simple as that. Competition runs until Thursdy at midnight and I’ll announce the winner on Friday morning.
